No, if tex-common has not been configured, there's either no texmf.cnf, or the one from teTeX-2.0, without TEXMFSYSCONFIG (and also without TEXMFSYSVAR, IIRC): $ kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFSYSBONFIG; echo $? 1 Either we need a Depends on tex-common, or a check whether there is a texmf.cnf, or similar.
